A cowhide rug adds visual texture, as well as a unique shape and natural-toned pattern to your space. Here are 12 refined bovine rugs (both real and faux) that enhance the Southwest flavor in your home.

If you prefer your animal-print accents to be faux, this rug from World Market is a vegan-friendly alternative to real cowhide. Providing a soft and silky feel underfoot, this printed pick (available in two different sizes) is clad in brown and cream tones that warmly complement your interiors.

This authentic cowhide rug from Article is hand-constructed in a monochrome patchwork pattern that's unique to each piece. Its dark tones are flattering in a space, and though its unique design is certainly eye-catching, it won't overshadow a room. The underside of the silky material is lined so that it stays put wherever it's placed.

These top-rated, natural cowhides feature distinct markings and patterns in white, brown, and black, and reviewers love them for their authenticity and beautiful look for an incredibly reasonable value.

For those who adore Southwest-inspired decor but don't want to go full-on with the look, this authentic ebony cowhide rug is an artful home accent that puts natural beauty on display. Pair with a rug pad and rotate it often to keep its sumptuous feel intact for years to come.

This silky-smooth rug from Lulu & Georgia is lightly mottled with markings that evoke an authentic cowhide, though this pick is 100% faux. Clad in a toasted tawny hue, this acrylic accent rug has a sleek texture and an off-kilter silhouette that breaks up the symmetry in a room.

Layer this authentic cowhide rug into the living room or study to add a little bit of rustic character. In cut and color, no two rugs are exactly alike, making each one an original piece of art for your home.

If you've been craving an animal-print statement rug for your home, you can't do much better than this zebra-printed cowhide pick. The beautiful coat and soft pile make this a dream to pad around on.
